For S&Gs I decided to do the old newbie armor quests for a halfling ranger. These all involve getting various bits from the wild life in Misty Thicket. One of the small spiders (not the normal spiderlings, but the other ones) was on my list of targets.
I tracked down one of these guys and promptly slew the beast, but not before he hit me with a poison DOT that hit for 600+ a tick.
Is this normal?
